For this, I would need a separate private network between the laptop and the mobile, isn't it? Besides, outside my home, I do not have control over the IP space used by the laptop to allocate one to the mobile. I am also not comfortable using static IP even for testing(I understand that it eliminates an unknown during testing), as my mobile is definitely easier to manage with DHCP. > > I'd suggest that you google (or use any other search engine) for > "Internet sharing with linux". For a start: > http://thio4linux.wordpress.com/2007/10/14/share-internet-connection-on-linux/ Sharing the internet connection on my linux machine is not an issue. The additional pointers that I am looking at are mobile/wi-fi specific issues to watch out for. Connecting without encryption and static IP addresses is a problem I can solve. What after that? - Sandip _______________________________________________ ilugd mailinglist -- ilugd@lists.linux-delhi.org http://frodo.hserus.net/mailman/listinfo/ilugd Next Event: http://freed.in - February 22-24, 2008 Archives at: http://news.gmane.org/gmane.user-groups.linux.delhi http://www.mail-archive.com/ilugd@lists.linux-delhi.org/
